Do the Muslims here condemn the attacks in Mumbai, India?

The rabbi and his wife were murdered (luckily, their toddler was smuggled out by the cook): I am sure the haters on this site are celebrating.

Yes, true Muslims do.

There was a documentary on CNN about Muslims of Middle Eastern descent living in Australia. The researcher found that the more a group or individual feels ostracized or excluded from a group, the more likely they are to move toward a threshold that says it's 'ok' to use violence. There was one young man shown who was a university student who had been unfairly harrassed by police. After that he said he felt incensed and admitted he was more likely to agree with some radical philosophies.

It's pretty f-d up, but what's the next step? Obviously there are always going to be some maniacs no matter what. But we should try not to blame innoccent people. All terrorists are not Muslim, and a lot of terrorists aren't even practicing their religion- most are going against it. All Muslims are not terrorists.

The investigators of the attack haven't announced yet who commited it .

Do you have a source who told yo it was Muslims who did it or what ??

Truly and honestly to me Gaza worries me more
right 101 were killed by a terror attack over 200 were wounded full sympathy and deep one as well but as you said it a terrorist group did it ,could be muslim terrorist group could be local or from Pakistan or Afghanistan but mainly its a terrorist group as you mentioned
meanwhile 1.500 000 people are suffering of acts of no terror group.
if you visit a decent prison you will see regulations which says,food is served at xx times ,but you do not see that in Gaza
electricity works in prison but not in Gaza
even if you want to go to toilette, regulations give one the chance to go freely and hygienic but not in Gaza
medicine is served in Jail but not in Gaza
in the same time you do not see so frequent killings in jails
but most amazing thing is once one heard that Israeli had withdrawn from Gaza

Islam condemns violence. What else do you want me to say? What's happening is overseas, I'm helpless to stop it.

All you people who are already saying bad things about Islam because of this incident just love to generalize and it isn't fair.

alll true muslims hate any type of terrorist attack. muslims who think its okay are not okay in their mind, obviously. its so sad how this question has to be asked just because of the muslims who make wrong terrible choices. maybe the rest of us should go around hating christians because of the exclusive christian violent groups like the kkk ?

SHK

i'm muslim and i hate these cowardly acts by terrorists who kill in the name of god.
some muslim does something bad and the whole religion gets blames
my family lives in Mumbai and some of them got injured.
btw we haven't found out the ppl who did the attacks in Mumbai

THE TRUTH IS HOLY

I spoke to three Muslims (one lives on my block and two were on the block with the Arab stores in my neighborhood). All of them attempted to justify the acts reported and one said that it was a reaction to American and Israeli policies. I can not state that every Muslim in this country would agree, but that is the opinion of the three with whom I conversed.

Shadi

Muslims strongly condemn any act were Innocent people are being hurt!!!
So far no one knows what really happened except that a group claim to be Mujahedin started shooting and blowing up everything around.
You have to know that many (zionist) groups would do something bad in the name of Islam just like they did in Afghanistan, US, and other parts...

Ironically the media shows nothing about how Muslims are daily being killed by Hindus.
Indian Police always encouraged killing Muslims and specially in 1992

You can do some research on that!
I believe the roots of the problem goes back to the British occupation which divided these countries.

When i hear the word (Mujahedin) my mind goes to the 10 thousand Mujahedin who came to Bosnia from all over and saved Muslims of Bosnia from ethnic cleansing while all the world watched without doing anything!
Only when Mujahedins were about to liberate all Bosnia, US came with Dayton peace agreement to stop the war... Isn't that a shame?
I lived that war were more than 200 000 Muslim died and more than 400 000 others injured, and many still missing...

______________________________________...

There are lot of things we all have to condemn mate, but let us not be media slaves...

Edit Kevin:
It is because of Pakistani-Indian conflict over teritory, which leads to the hate against the minority. Did you know that these countries were one before Britain divided them? I noticed that you like to do lot of researches so why don't you do some on that?And why were they divided like many other countries?

Do you say that every minority that is being hated are terrorists? Isn't "Israel" a "Jewish state" because they (the Jews) failed to live with others as minorities?

Leibel JPAA

The silence is deafening, isn't it?
A Chabad Lubavitch center was stormed by terrorists and a Rabbi ad his wife were killed. Jews did seem to be targets since the Chabad center was part of the attack. That would lead me to believe it was a Muslim fueled attack and Pakistan and India are political enemies. Storm India and hey, if there is a Jewish center in town, lets get it too huh?
When the news comes about who did this, it will be Muslim terrorists. Most terrorists these days are Muslim, like it or not.
I am tired of hearing people say these "were not real Muslims". Ok. I accept that. Then, would the "Real Muslims" please stand up and speak out publicly and loudly against these people who those of us who are non-Muslims see on the news everyday.
The Xtian/KKK analogy is weak at best. Xtians speak out against those white robed idiots. They do not see them as Xtian and speak out publically against them. When James Bird was attacked in Texas for no other reason than being black, some of the most vocal people calling for the heads of the scumbags who killed him were Xtians (both black and white).
I have seen precious few Muslim public figures stand up and take a stand.
I have been online and have seen some of the things said. It seems many feel the end justifies the means. Some say they are not "true Muslims" but I have seen nobody say "We need to go after these peope ourselves. They should not represnt our religion.
Death and hate are allowed to continue because civil decent people turn their heads and look the other way while crime is committed. That is what is happening here. You hear murmurings that "They are not true Muslims" or "They don't represent Islam" but the screaming that seems like it should be going on if people were killing in the name of "your peaceful faith" is absent.
Sometimes, saying nothing, says it all.

I am Muslim. I hate random attacks which kills peaceful people. I also hate Stupid Answers.

I'm sure they would if they had access to the media. Muslim condemnation of the attacks does not sell anywhere in the world. The media would benefit from a worldwide overhaul.

Only a few here are Muslims, the others are haters, and they, they could care less.

I DONT KNOW WHAT CONDEMN MEANS ANYWAY BUT BY LOOKING AT THE ANSWERS....................................
TERRORISTS USE THE NAME ISLAM AS A SCAPEGOAT SO WHEN THE TERRORIST KILL PEOPLE ISLAM GETS A BAD NAME,

IF CHRISTIANS STARTED EATING HUMANS IN THE NAME OF CHRISTIANITY, WOULDNT PEOPLE CALL THEM NUTS!

9 (S&SU) (PSM)

Yes.

Adam

yeah muslims condemn those attacks, i mean any one of us could have been there you know,,,

Nada

If the facts are true then yeah, I do condemn the attacks. Terrorism isn't allowed in Islam, despite what you've heard from the media, and those people are making us look bad, since the world just loves to generalize. I hope the familes of those who were attacked find peace, and maybe now they know how the Palestinians feel.

Authentic Believer (SOA)

Yes I condemn every terrorist attack, but who's to say that Muslim did this?

The first people they accuse are the Muslims *figures*. I'm not surprised but I'm quite angry at how people around the world can accept to believe that bias news. Especially here in America I think that Muslims are getting the heat not as bad as the blacks did but it can escalate to that level. Me bening Muslim, Black, and Arab makes it even harder for me. That's one more reason I should be stronger and defend my faith from ignorat people like you.

An israili was killed in India: Israeli tourist killed in car accident. Not in Mumbai yesterday.

Dina Hoshea was travelling near Punjab province with her husband, two children when their car overturned; meanwhile, search for another Israeli who went missing in river in Laos continues

Among the dead the India's Mumbai attack were at least one Australian, a Japanese and a British national, said Pradeep Indulkar, a senior government official of Maharashtra state, whose capital is Mumbai. A German and an Italian were also killed, according to the foreign ministries in the two countries.

State's Deputy Home Secretary Bitin Srimali said foreigners being held captive include Canadians, Americans, British, Italians, Swedes, Yemenis, New Zealanders, Spaniards, Turks, a Singaporean and Israelis.

Condemning a terrorist attack, of course. The world is condemning such attacks.

Your question was do Muslims condemn the attacks in Mumbai. I can not speak for all Muslims. Some of them don't have an understanding of Islam if they say they do not, because Islam does not condone killing innocent people.
Anyone with an ounce of human compassion would condemn this action. They have not been attacked by these people, they are not protecting themselves from these people, they are punishing these people who have nothing to do with whatever has made them angry.
Nothing can justify that behaviour, ever. Regardless if it is a Muslim group or not a Muslim group, as it is unclear at this point who is really responsible. If it is 'Muslims' then shame on them.

Cher JPA

I'm with "the truth is holy" on this one. I have talked with Muslims about various terrorist events -- killings aimed purposely at civilians --- & often get justifications rather than upset.

I know Muslims who wouldn't support this in a million years. I also know those who can't seem to understand what peaceful really means & that justifying this even a little bit is the opposite of peaceful.

What makes me really sad is the people on here who can't stop them selves from attacking Israel & Jews on an irrelevant question -- and further can't differentiate the Israeli actions of self-defense & efforts to avoid civilians, from terrorist acts & acts of war to annihalite Israel. Why are so many more Arabs killed? Because they send in people to become martrys for the media PR of making it look bad for Israel. Literally & sometimes their children.

===========
I'd disagree that Islamic condemnation doesn't sell. It sometimes doesn't but there isn't enough condemnation to make the stories shine. I was shocked at interfaith events to find the images of wanting shari law, etc. I assumed were false, weren't according to the Muslims themselves who were speaking.

Tehilla V

I've been reading Muslim responses to these attacks for the last day or so.

Here are the most common responses:

1) Terrorists aren't REAL Muslims.

2) You don't even know if Muslims did it, anyway.

3) It was really a covert Israeli operation, designed to make Islam look bad.

4) It's Israel's fault, because they're mean to Palestinians (with, of course, no historical background of the conflict).

5) Anyone who would ask such a question is a hater.

That's pretty much what I've heard from Muslims. Any 'condemnation' is quickly mitigated by blaming others and making excuses.

Every once in awhile--not very often, in fact, I think TWICE now--a Muslim has said unequivocally, "Yes, I condemn the actions of my co-religionists."

It's this inadequate response by moderate Muslims that has allowed the extremists to co-opt the religion.

I'm Jewish. I was always taught that Islam was our sister religion, and the only other religion that was monotheistic. I was taught to respect them.

I've lost all respect. I am fed up.

Moderate Muslims: Please try to take your religion back. I think it's too late--I think it's been taken from you. But if you don't try now, it WILL be too late.

The silence speaks for itself.

When are you my friends, are going to learn of how to post a question?
I honestly don't have the slightest idea of what happened in India.
I am sorry my TV broke down last week.
Could you post a live link so everyone can get informed on the nature of your question?
I am afraid I do not know what happens around the world any time and all of the time.
I suppose there was an earthquake or something and if so, I feel real bad for this.

A few of them might condemn them, but most support them either openly or secretly. You have to understand that Mohammed himself was a terrorist who raided other villages and caravans, murdered many civilians and forced young girls into sexual slavery.
